VAPOR-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 238,633, dated March 8,1881.

Application filed May 24, 1880. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEoReE W. BILLINGS, of Cleveland, in the county ofGuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and ImprovedVapor-Burner, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to vapor-burners, and has for its object tofurnish a simple device for "aporizing coal-oil and burning the same forheating purposes.

The nature of the invention will fully appear from the subjoineddescription, when considered with reference to the accompanyingdrawing,in which the figure is a side elevation.

A is a tube arising from a T-joint connection, B, containing a shut-offvalve, B. To the upper end of said tube A is connected, by an elbow, atubular frame, 0, having a jet-orifice and needle-valve, D.

E is a mixing-chamber and burner, consist ing of a cup or shell having acentral opening in the bottom, and a short coneshaped tube, a, (shown indotted lines,) rising therefrom and standing up about three-fourths ofthe height inside of the cup. The cup is secured to a disk or cover, 0,by means of long rivets f, or otherwise, and the disk has a loop, g, for

suspending the cup to the upper cross-arm of the frame 0, by means ofwhich the cup may be readily adjusted in relation to and directly overthe jet-orifice, where it may be secured by means of a key, h.

The space between the tube A and the perpendicular arm of the frame (3is made narrow, so as to have the sides of the cup E stand close tothem, for the purpose of having the jets of flame come in close contactfor heating them and generating vapor therein.

This makes a simple, perfect, and noiseless burner for vaporizingcoal-oil, and is equally adapted for all products of petroleum.

Having described my invention, I claim In a vapor-burner, the perforatedadjustable cup E, constructed as shown and described, with closed top 0,having loop 9, closed bottom having central opening, and short centraltube, a, in combination with the quadrangular frame 0 and valve D, asand for the purpose described.
